Sean Murray is the handsomest man in games development, if not the handsomest in all of c-c-c-creation. The co-founder of Hello Games, and the chief inspiration behind No Man's Sky, is a beautiful enigma, his soft lilt, rugged good looks, and "Kiss me" eyes making him a sort of inscrutable, bearded Blarney Stone.

But what of the man behind the face? What are the main dislikes of the man Sean Murray? As Sean maintains a dignified silence in the face of mounting questions regarding supposedly missing features in No Man's Sky, here are ten things we guarantee he won't want you to do to him, as far as we know.

10. TAP HIM ON THE TOP OF THE HEAD WITH A COIN TO GET HIS ATTENTION.

9. OFFER HIM A CHOCOLATE COIN... BUT IT TURNS OUT TO BE A REAL COIN!

8. OFFER HIM A REAL COIN... BUT IT TURNS OUT TO BE A CHOCOLATE COIN!

7. THROW A COIN REALLY HARD AT HIS FACE.

6. PUT HIM IN A WOODEN BARREL, AND DENY HIM A COIN.

5. HEAT UP A COIN ON THE STOVE, AND THEN PUT IT ON HIS LEG.

4. ASK IF HE CAN LEND YOU A COIN, AND WHEN HE GIVES IT TO YOU JUST DROP IT ON THE FLOOR IN FRONT OF HIM.

3. TELL HIM HE'S MISPRONOUNCING THE WORD EVERY TIME HE SAYS "COIN".

2. WITH YOUR FISTS FULL OF COINS, SCURRY BETWEEN HIS LEGS WHEN HE'S NOT EXPECTING IT.

Drop a coin in a dog turd, them press it firmly in his hand... and he'll constantly lie about the inclusion of multiplayer on No Man's Sky.

Oh great omniscient one, I always wondered if it was yourself on youtube a few years back, under some username along the lines of 'Eat my juicy turd', gracing the comments of various retrogame uploaders with various turd-themed comments.

Are you, perhaps, the turd coming?

Ask him if he'd like to play a coin op, then operate on him, with a coin.

Ask if its a coin-cidence that we've never seen him and Peter Molyneux at the same time.

Oh, and: give him a coin so he can buy some shoes.

Invite him to pour his jar of coins into a CoinStar, and unplug it before he's finished.

Take a 5p piece, slide it up his nose! If he complains, flick him in the eye!

As a scientific experiment, see if it is actually possible to swim through a pile of coins (a la Ducktales), using Sean Murray as an unwilling participant, all for the benefit of the greater scientific community.

If that doesn't work, repeat the experiment with tiddlywinks.

Afterwards, play the popular game: "Flick tiddlywinks, till he winks", with Sean on the receiving end.

I like the way he has his feet out in the last pic, what a cool down to earth guy he is! And what a grand collection of chequered shirts! It's the ONLY thing Sean will wear!!!!!
